I sent this report the day after the neighbor’s dog attacked Rupert during our walk (he was fine though it shook us both). My sweet baby Rupert was happy and snuffly and his usual self today, yesterday’s brush with calamity already forgotten. Me, I was on high alert, more jumpy than a Secret Service agent, […]

Harley, road warrior
(photo by Sarah H.) I love coming to see the coolest of cool cats, the spriest of old dudes, the cudliest of kitties, Harley. I can see him astride his namesake, bandana on his head, telling me to hop on, we’re going to Sturgis. What a road trip we’d have, doing catnip in seedy motels, […]
Roxy, birthday gal
Roxy celebrated her 5th birthday last month, and she doesn’t look a day over 2! Little sister Ruby helped me throw a party for the ages, hats & ice cream and all. They say it’s your birthday… Well happy birthday to ya! I was so jazzed to come celebrate with my girl Roxy and to […]

Ned, the gentleman
How I’ve missed Mr. Ned, gentleman of High Street, scholar, favored by all. We had a reunion out of legend, full of kisses and hugs and wiggles of excitement before he led me outside. All along the street, people leaned out of windows, called out from cars, and stopped in the streets to catch a […]
Finn, my captain
My boy Finn was snoozing contentedly, the picture of serenity, on my arrival today. I hated to wake him, but once he bathed me with that grin of his, I was putty. He wanted love and to get going! We toured his grounds, still marveling at the weather, and there was a moment when the […]
Welcome!
Hi! My name is Zach, and welcome to The Critter Chronicler. As a client of Critter Sitters, you may have read one of my ‘report cards’ and noticed something a little different. Maybe your pet was a pirate that day, maurading through the neighborhood for bones and booty; or your pet sang me a popular […]
